Traveling

Time spent in the car traveling lately has always been about either getting there or getting back. Coming home from northern Mass today I decided to try to look at in a different way. Instead of punching in home on the GPS and going with "fastest time" I decided that we should take the roundabout way home. There is so much more of this country to see if you can stay off of the highways for a while. We got to travel through some quaint little New England towns on the way home. Went down lots of little twisty turny roads and even ended up on one Vermont road that isn't even paved! The other thing we concentrated on was talking. It is too easy to just turn on the radio and ignore the passenger when you are hurrying from point A to point B. It is nice to have a captive audience for a few hours. It is nicer still to BE a captive audience for a few hours. I realize when we are in the car talking that I listen alot more because I am not headed off to another room or to another chore. Even with the rain and lack of visibility the ride was wonderful because of the company.

Until then...

Reality, is it fact or fiction?

Just an interesting thought, everybody assumes reality is real but what is real? I think that perception is reality. What you personally perceive to be real is your reality. This of course means that your reality and someone else's reality are not the same. How is that possible if reality is supposed to be real? I guess it goes to an old saying, there are two sides to every story. But that saying is a little off, it should go something like there are three sides to every story, side A side B and what really happened.
Try to keep that in mind the next time you are having a disagreement with someone. You may be sure of what really happened, but the other person is also sure of what really happened and you both may be way off!
I am sure that there is a verse from the Bible that goes along with this and if I could figure it out I would share it. Possibly I will stumble upon it. If I do I will be sure to share it.

Until then...

Hold my beer and watch this...

Usually the last thing a redneck says before a trip to the hospital, but it seemed like a good way to start! As my profile states I am just a guy on the other side of 40 that has random thoughts to share once in a while. Some may be interesting some boring and more than a few rather odd, but hey, that's the way it goes. So, if you have been invited or just stumbled in by accident I hope you find it at the least amusing and at the most profound...
